CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 6

The CASB report indicates several unsanctioned SaaS applications are being used in an organization. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

Answer options

• A. VPN bypass
• B. Shadow IT
• C. Web proxy bypass
• D. CAB approval

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Shadow IT, which refers to the use of applications and services without IT department approval. This is likely the cause of the unsanctioned SaaS applications identified in the report. The other options, such as VPN bypass and web proxy bypass, relate to circumventing security measures rather than the unauthorized use of SaaS applications, and CAB approval refers to a formal process that would typically prevent such usage.
